Power Supply: TSN Urges Niger Delta Youths against Vandalism
Adebiyi Adedapo in Abuja
Worried about the spate of pipeline vandalisation in the Niger Delta region, and the resultant effect of poor power supply, a group of professionals under the auspices of Team Support Nigeria (TSN) have appealed to youths in the area to shun vandalism.
TSN also urged the government to design an all inclusive economic plan for Niger Delta youths, to address the shortcomings of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, aimed at addressing youth restiveness in the area.
“The amnesty programme is a national measure aimed at addressing youth restiveness, but we still have a number of the youths who are not captured in the programme. So we want to encourage government in this direction, to develop a more inclusive economic programme, which will encourage the youths and reduce the chances of our shortages”, the group noted.
Coordinator of the team, Mr. Chinedu Egbenumolise who led other members in its maiden press briefing, weekend in Abuja, noted that government, has made laudable efforts in improving power supply in the country.
Egbenumolise who said power supply was essential to economic productivity, appealed to Niger Delta youths to jettison all forms of sabotage, and express their grievances through legitimate means.
